Sticking to one project?

I am pretty sure most writers flit from project to project but there are times, especially with looming deadlines when you have to stick to one!

This is where I am at the moment. I have until July 8th (well not that long really as I have to post them unless I hand deliver!) to complete another 15 minute play. I don't have to enter two but want to increase my chances. Plus I love the idea so want to write it anyway. So I need to concentrate on this even though my mind is often distracted.

My major distraction yesterday was a message on facebook from a senior features writer for our local newspaper. I love the fact they found me on facebook! They saw the story in Pick Me Up and are hoping to run it as a story from a different angle. It strikes me that as they found me I should try and use it as an opportunity. Anyway as it involves my husband I need to discuss it with him and find a little bit more about it.

But like I said I need to finish what I'm doing before I pursue other things so hopefully I will have 15 play number 2 done by the weekend. Might just have to do a little jump of joy when they're sent off!

About Me

Ever since I can remember I have written as a hobby. This blog is about me trying to turn writing into something more than a hobby.
Born in Margate, Kent in 1981 I left home to train as a physiotherapist in London. After qualifying in 2002 I moved to Southampton and worked for the next 6 years in the NHS. Shortly after qualifying I was diagnosed with Sarcoidosis following several years with an eye condition. Gradually with a combination of my illness and the side effects of many medications I opted to leave the NHS to safeguard my future health. I now work part-time in a Shopmobility and have been concentrating on improving my health. Now my health is improving I am spending more time concentrating on my writing. This blog will outline the projects I am getting on with, how I get on, any competitions I plan to enter them into and anything else that may be of interest.
